Goodnature Co2 Traps

[IanB 0]

Did anyone read the article in the NGO magazine about the use of goodnature traps in new zealand.

Basically they were tested and are set to be the go to trap over there as they self reset, and reduce manpower and trap check/reset times by a massive margin. The check and reset is the main problem over there due to the area covered and terrain.

 

Anyway the jist of it is, they might end up over here, and if further anti poison measures are pushed, are meant to be the next step..

 

Whats does everyone else think?

Just watched a video on YouTube, it will be good for 2-3 kills then the bodies will stop anything else being able to enter.....

Interesting little device will have to research that,

great little tool, but would be expensive and fiddly maybe and very obvious. is it the future??? who can tell.

I could see those traps cammo'ed up in the top of a tree being devastating for squirrels.

It would work well if placed on a ledge or beam IMO! Rats e.t.c would drop off instead of pilling up at trap!

Its looks like it works okay i was surprised the smell of the dead one didn't put the other one off ?>

If used with bucket underneath ,,,you could get quite a few in,,,,just build a narrow bridge acros the bucket,,,

 

Looks a great little trap

Expensive if you needed to by 10 or more ... How much are the co2 cartridges and how many strikes do you get before you have to change it ...........

And are the CO2 cartridges affected by the cold?

Good question, It seems they are, the colder it gets the more the pressure drops. I done a google for Co2 gas the best one I could come up with that explained it was on a home brew forum.

It seems that by putting the Co2 canister in the fridge it lost 25% of it's normal output at room temperature.
